Woman’s Hands-Free Phone Hack To Watch Movies On Flight Is Trending

A smart airplane hack is raking in likes on Instagram. Interestingly this hack does not involve buying fancy equipment. This interesting tip shows how one can watch shows or movies on their phone without holding it with their hands or using any phone holder. Instead one has to flip over the disposable headrest covers that are on the seat ahead of them towards themselves.

Then one can carefully take their phone out of the phone cover and put the headrest cover on the backside of their phone and then put on their phone cover back. This way one will create a makeshift phone holder that will support the phone.

However, two unsaid facts are essential for executing this travel hack, one is to make sure that your flight has such headcovers and that the people who are sitting in front of you have no problem with them being used like this. Secondly, your phone cover should be snug enough to hold your phone securely. If the phone cover is loose then the phone can fall.

This travel hack was shared on Instagram by a travel influencer named Ida Augusta. She shared this clip on November 5, last year. It has gathered hundreds of likes. However, not all people were impressed by it. Commenting on the video, an Instagram user wrote, “This seems like an incredible idea until the phone falls.” Another person wrote, “I would find this quite rude as there is a reason why they are on the other side of the chair.”

In August last year, an unusual travel hack for Indian Railways went viral. The video showed a young man sleeping peacefully in a hammock that he had fastened in the middle of a crowded Indian Railway coach. The hammock, which was made by a bedsheet, was secured on all sides by the upper births of the coach.
